Why standardization is needed

Jss 0251 – Technical Documentation

Why standardization is needed. Why is this documentation is to be followed?

Well, if it is a deliverable is single AC then no problem. But unlike household equipment, when defence labs build some equipment for example let us say a Missile, here several OEMs are involved may be more than 40 different OEMs i.e. for ground systems, Vehicle chassis, Radars, Power systems, Hydraliques, launchers, transport vehicles and maybe for components too, so many different vendors are involved. If 40 different OEMs makes the documentation in their way, it will be very confusing to refer to. Hence all these OEMs has to follow a single standard JSS 251 so that all 40 looks the same for the operator or Maintainer who is the actual END-USER of the equipment. The purpose of documentation is to refer to the Manual in case of any emergency, or when the end-user is in the war field and OEM is not available for repair then the operator should be able to refer to the topics very easily.

Normally, all these manuals are also copied in DVD and delivered along with hard copies.

This specification talks about the procedure for the preparation and production of technical publications for electronic and electrical equipment.

These standards are drafted by the Directorate of standardization, department of Defence Production, Ministry of Defence.

JSS 251 describes the format and procedure for the preparation and production of technical publications for electronics and electrical equipment required to be supplied by OEMs or manufacturers.
